iReb The App That Makes iTunes Accept Custom IPSW Firmware

iReb is a GUI app that was created by iH8sn0w. It uploads 3 pwned files using iTunnel so that iTunes will accept custom IPSW firmware. This tool is available for both Windows and Mac. It supports all iDevices including the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. For S5L8900 devices it uploads iBSS.MODEL.RELEASE.dfu, WTF.MODEL.RELEASE.dfu and WTF.s518900xall.RELEASE.dfu. For S5L8920, S5L8922 and S5L8930 devices it triggers a heap overflow and uploads a pwned iBSS.

The current version of iReb is 4.0.x/4.1 r2 and this is compatible with Windows XP/Vista and Windows 7. The latest release of iReb added support for all devices.
